Viewing cable 07ATHENS340, GREEK INITIAL RESPONSE TO UN MIDDLE RING SECURITY

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables

REQUEST 
 
REF: SECSTATE 17022 
 
1. (SBU) On 15 February, Poloffs communicated reftel points 
to MFA Deputy Director (International Organizations) Amb. 
Rallis.  Rallis inquired which nations had previously 
contributed to the Distinct Entity Trust Fund.  Poloffs 
responded per reftel paragraph 5.  Rallis further inquired 
whether U.S. considered the amount of contribution or the 
symbolism of contribution more valuable.  Poloffs responded 
that while participation in and of itself was appreciated, 
per reftel paragraph 1 the DETF finances would soon be 
exhausted and without contributions a real crisis would soon 
exist. 
 
2. (SBU) Rallis stated his intention to recommend to GoG FM 
Bakoyannis, MFA SyGen Rocanas, and MFA DirGen (Political) 
Vassilopoulos that the GoG make a new contribution of at 
least the same value as previous GoG contribution (500,000 
EURO).  Embassy will follow up with appropriate officials.
